British elections .. Opinion polls confirm the Conservatives winning a comfortable majority

In the British elections, the results of a poll of voters after the closing of polling stations showed that the Conservative Party led by Prime Minister Boris Johnson leads the results with 368 seats, while the Labor Party won 191 seats.

Voter poll results also confirmed that the Scottish National Party won 55 seats, and the Liberal Democrats won 13 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons.

Commenting on the results, a British Labor Party spokesman said it was too early to talk about the results, and there was still a long vote counting process.

British voters voted on Thursday in the early general elections to choose their representatives in Parliament, and then form a new government to lead the country in the next stage. The third legislative elections in less than five years are being questioned about the fate of leaving the European Union.

More than four thousand polling stations opened their doors at seven in the morning GMT and closed at ten in the evening, and the number of voters more than forty million, they will choose 650 members of the House of Parliament (Parliament), including 533 seats in England, 59 in Scotland, and forty in Wales, and 18 in Northern Ireland.

Separation predicament
The early elections came as a result of the ruling Conservative Party’s inability to obtain the approval of members of Parliament for the agreed separation agreement between London and the European Union.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson - who leads the Conservative Party - hopes to secure a sufficient majority in Parliament to help him pass the Brexit Agreement and enter into force by the end of January 2020, and the Prime Minister declared in his election campaign that there is an opportunity in these elections to end more than three years From political stalemate and fog.

The majority of Britons (52%) voted in a 2016 referendum in favor of their country leaving the European bloc. The current elections are held according to the individual district system with one round, provided that the candidate with the largest number of votes in his district wins.

Labor opposition
In exchange for Johnson's promises to move ahead with the implementation of the Brexit, the opposition condemned the leadership of the Labor Party on the last day of the campaign for what it described as the Prime Minister’s lies, particularly his promise to reach a trade agreement with the European Union within less than a year after the Brexit took effect.

Opposition leader Jeremy Corbin said in his last election rally on Wednesday in London that he promised to bring about real change in the country after nearly a decade of conservative rule.
The Labor Party program is dominated by pledges to nationalize some sectors and implement massive investments, especially in the National Health Service (NHS), which has been weakened by years of austerity.

Corbin kept his position ambiguous about the Brexit, so he promised that if he won negotiations with the Europeans a new agreement that would be more respectful of workers' rights, he would put it in a new referendum that would give the British the choice to stay within the European Union or secede from it.
